Reviews:
“It feels a little exploitative but isn’t that every movie I watch? How often will you get to see a tree covered with the skin and blood of several horrible soldiers who have dared to hurt women? The effects are pretty good, the gore is non-stop and it moves quickly enough. I laughed several times at just how far it goes…” B&S About Movies
“From a technical perspective, The Witch. Revenge looks good, with an added boost coming from the use of captured Russian uniforms and weapons to give it an air of authenticity. The acting is decent, with the actors playing the Russians convincingly going from swaggering @ssholes to so terrified they start turning on each other. Tetiana Malkova carries the film…” ★★★★ Voices from the Balcony
